Im afraid a Linux server with ESf 1.2.3 is busted due to a STEAM update a little over a year ago.

Only windows dedicated servers are possible ATM. The issue was resolved in 1.3 though.

It's not impossible to put up a Linux server, Rick got one up.

I've managed to make it run on Linux, actually. It was a pain though. Had to get older engine build files (couldn't get Steam ones, so got non-Steam), then to install Metamod with a module that allows Steamed users to connect, then manually block non-Steam, etc.

If anyone gave original Steam files of an older build (like 2738), that might just work.

But will those Linux servers be VAC secured? Or else you will get hackers and cheaters all over the place.

And will the current version of HL be able to connect to the server with outdated files?

Older version means older exe version. Youll get a protocol missmatch error. Unless you can somehow keep the HL version and just revert the steam version.

There's a Metamod module that allows clients with 47 and 48 protocol versions to connect. It was meant for non-Steam servers but it could be used in this case too. The worst thing is that there are some non-Steam bots (real bots, LOL), thousands of them (most of them are named EvolutionX, www.duote.com, TuFe.Cn or something like that), and they connect to your server. That's why you need to manually (with a custom plugin, I mean) check if player has protocol 48, if not - kick him out. That really sucks, LOL. Can't remember if VAC-security worked.

Someone who created them named them that way.
